May your answer would be more appropriate? I don't like to see the mistakes of MS in KDE. (Get away from me Satan! ;-) ) To present less options/informations on more screen space, is exactly the opposite of the goals of this bug. I didn't ask for the failed concepts of the Win8-GUI. I just ask to bring back the functionality and usability of KDE 4. > If you like the Windows 10 start menu you will love "Tiled Menu". > Indeed it is a replica of the Windows 10 start menu. No! I heat the win10 start menu. In KDE I use the old fashion "Applications Menu". "Applications Menu" has got exactly the functionality this bug 332512 is asking for: It automatically changes size, according to it's content. Most other Plasma widgets don't. E.g.: It's all most impossible to use the Plasma-Network-Winding in the panel, without scrolling inside the widget. The widget has got a had coded size. My screen is ten times of the size. WTF! Why is this widget not showing all 50 wifi-networks a once? there would be enough space. The same silly issue in the following widgets: "Status and Notifications", "Audio Vollume", "Battery and Brightness", "Clipboard", "Priners", "Device Notifier" and so on... In KDE 4 all widgets used to resize automatically. The rare laudable exception are: "Klipper", "KMix"-widget and "Applications Menu". This widgets are the prove. The functionelety still exits in KDE 5! Just bring it back to all widgets. > Step by step guide: > > First unlock the widgets of your panel. > Then go to "add widgets". > Click at "get new widgets". > Go to "download new plasma widgets". > Type "Tiled Menu" at the search box. > Click at "install". > > You may change the start menu by > right click at the plasma menu button > and then click at "show alternatives". > Now you will be able to switch to "Tiled Menu". > > I like KDE. After all, KDE is all about choice. This guide isn't a solution. It's a answer for a not asked question. And it's just an excuse. User to ask to user Windows is coward. May next time you try to understand the issue before answering. Sorry for the straight talk. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
